  16.  
  17.         Hi everybody,
  18.  
  19.         If anyone's interested to hear, I've managed to fix that midi output
  20. problem, which I told couple of weeks ago. The problem then was awful lot of
  21. note-on delays and note-off droppings and such.
  22.         Well, I changed that Intel Zappa motherboard to MG board and played
  23. with Award Bios' parameters for a couple of days, and the miracle happened:
  24. midi output was working again! The critical parameters were "8 bit I/O
  25. recovery time" and "16 bit I/O recovery time", which have to be at least 8
  26. and 4 clock pulses. So here we go again; sometimes it is the tiniest little
  27. thing you could imagine to make somthing to work. Luckily problem was not
  28. the drivers, the adaptor itself or the soundcard.
  29.         And if you ask me; yes I would recommend buying MG and not Zappa;
  30. better bios, APM works, it handles pipe lined burst cache, and so on.
  31.         So thanks to everybody who tried to help me, using this list or
  32. personal mailing.
